liz: you know what it is, any day you have languishing stocks, have winners. everybody is waiting on al alco. see the earnings released results read they're supposed to swing back to a profit. the stock is not doing that great, so we are at the cme looking at what is happening. 22 s&p companies have already reported, 22% have, and a good portion of them, 60% have actually beaten, 64% beating expectations, 73% lowered guidance, so does that set the tone for what will happen in the quarter. >> everybody looks for it, they kick off their earnings season. always the first report, not necessarily one of the biggest ones or the smallest.

liz: it appears we have a little bit of a problem but let's go to elliot and we can put up what is happening with the oil. look at the behavior, it is hard to judge what happens today when we know we are getting what is going on as far as inventories are concerned. what is the expectation? >> teddy may be onto something. we are priced to perfection as well. if we find value in everything, there's no reason to trade anything it seems like. you can make a good argument for that, but like we always talk about, waiting for the next big story to get moving. right now it is very quiet. liz: good to see all of you, thank you for joining us on the floor show.

dissolved and the company longer has interest in keeping it the way it actually started. this way i can secure i am onlyy associate with high-end quality products. liz: you have control. a lot of people say what would a rapper know about running a business, what is most important thing you have learned in this past year since we spoke at ces? >> in all of my business involvement is being able to find quality people trying to make a good judge of character. there are multiple tasks to be dealt with and physically they have been amazing for me. the company came in and actually executed everything in my vision. liz: what is it like to work with him? i know he is sitting next to you, so what are you going to say, but is he a tough business leader, shooting a video, i am

busy right now? >> one of the great things about this partnership has been that he has made himself available anytime we really need him. he stays involved in the initial phases of what we are developing in terms of what we are doing and come in terms of promotional efforts he is involved on a regular basis. so it is terrific. liz: there is such a gigantic crowd people flip out when they see curtis. let's talk about what you are excited about, think it is an expensive pair of headphones about $400, but this is a wireless headphone, tell me about this. >> this is a marquee product for sms audio. it is a wireless actual headset, 16 bit wireless technology allowing you to be 50 feet away from a single source of music, onboard equalizing system and it
